The Cwivenlinn ol rniifnlrrnlr holillcik. Tin' meeting of f.he OonTeilorate Soldiers convened in Atlanta Wednes day wan one of the largest and most eiitlmsiaatie we have find since the wAr. Tfiese Brave men,' who had fiiceil death In every form, mot, not to agitate the past, but to proudly as sert that tho memories of the past glorious record of the South, and her heroes, should not sink Into the grave of oblivion, but tliut her unheralded di'M-Aouldbe femembered in grate ful acknowledgement of their valor. This is jmt all that is eoiHeiupluied. THes isopoie to have the Assoelatlnn iaeorporfttW, with a view to extend ing pro)mr aid to the widows and or phans of their dead comrades. That such an object can !>e accomplished, we have no doubt; yet our people are fust becoming selfish and ungrateful. Men who Hiun ittocd thuirail ution the holy altar of Southern faith, and wo men who tolled and wept, watched ami prayed for the fulfilment of their ambition the success of her cause have, been left it neared for, and thrown out upon the cold charities of tho world. Many are the number of wo men who labored for our cause, now dependent upon their friends for a meagre support. These are cases of special Interest to the orgnnl7.atfon, and while it Is not proposed to feed them in idleness, it is intended to give them .suitable work, through the agency of each county organization. The Convention went to work in earn est, and elected dm id deafening cheers the old leader of our cause, (ien. Jo seph E. Johnston, lie Is the Presi dent, with a number of Vice Presi dents, including our gallant Gordon, (len. Fields,Gen. Colquitt, and a host or lesser lights. The Convention ad journed to meet In Maeon In the fall, and in the meant HamleMn 1 that every eompanyfrom Georgia m the Confed erate army prepare a muster roll of their company, stating who arc sur vivors and who dead. This Is a sacred task too long neg lected, - It Is but right and pro(M r that we should perpetuate our deeds, and hand It to posterity, that they learn the truth Of our cause, and how brute faroo triumphed over right. It will teach our children that we were not traitors nor rebels, but patriots, striving to throw oft the yoke of op pression out Northern enemies were fastening upon us.' Is there any reason or justice in not earing for our dead or our living soldiers ? The United Slates Govern ment, with the people’s money, are fronting marble monuments to the valor of their armies, and the balance of the money expending in quarter ing troops among us to degrade and hate us. Let us maylfest a proper Hclf-resjtodt, fur we may be assured that no country over prospered who forgot their dead soldiers, or declined to take care of the infirm. Wo wish the organization much success, and hope they may succeed in placing u|mjii the scroll of fame the name of every man who fought under the stars and bars, and to en roll upon a tablet of enduring brass the names of the brave women who suffered and toiled for our success. H. H. HIM. It has not been many years ago, since 11. 11. Hill, while feasting at the festive board with Bullock & Cos., said that lie had never been a Demo crat from choice. In the short time since then, lie lias asked the party lie joined under compulsion to be sent to the United States Senate, and af terwards to Congress, to represent the Ninth District. Now, through Ills friends of the press, lie is again seeking to represent., iu the National Legislature, a district of which lie is not a citizen. Hislongiug for some thing, reminds us of an anecdote told of a minister, who said to a rath er weak sister, “Mollie, are you hap py?” “Yes, deacon,”she replied, “I feel us though I would like to be in Beelzebub’s bosom.” "Not in Beel zebub's Sister.” “Well, someone of the old patriarchs, I don’t care which.” “An office, my countrymen, just an office, for which I offer my matchless eloquence. The Senate or the House will do, even though it comes from a party into which I have been forc ed,” Is Mr. Hill’s wail. Hen. Frnni'l* M. Cockrell, Tho next United States Senator from Missouri, is about forty years old, and is a lawyer of great eminence. In 1801 he entered the Missouri State (11111111, but soon it went regularly in to the Confederate army. At the battles of luka, Corinth, Hatehie, Port Gibson, Baker's Creek, Big Black he was actively engaged. At the siege of Vicksburg he was iu command of one of the forts which was blown up by the Federal forees and narrowly escaped with his life. With the rest of the force he surren dered at Vicksburg, and did not soo service again until after lie was ex changed in September, 18113. In May, I*M4, After being iu com mand at Mobile and Brandon, he formed a junetfoh with Gen. John son’s army at Rome, Georgia, and fought the advance of tHe Federal forces, to Atlauta and distinguished himself at the battle of Konnosaw. Then, under Hood, Ijelped to sustain the siege of Atlanta, fight tag when it fell, At the battle of Franklin he re ceived three wounds, one in the arm and one In each leg. Then, in com mand again at Mobile, ho was com pelled finally to surrender at the siege of Blakely twelve hours after the surrender of Gen. Lee. After a brief imprisonment in Fort Gaines in Mobile Bay he was pardon sned ui>ou the same terms as other Co fedemto officers on the 11th of May, lWifi. I It Is useless to add tliut he is a thor ough-bred Democrat, and will stand side by side w ith Gordon In the great qUestlons now nrlslng. Thr press of the State are generally in favor of letting tho public printing to the lowest bidder. This we think the fairest nnd most economical way. As the jilaii now is, the successful candidate is dependent upon ills pop ularity, nr the whims of the Legisla ture. Advertise for thirty days for bids, and tho State will be largely benefitted, besides giving everybody a chance. Thr New York Iltrald, of the pith inst., thus boldly tells the North what Grant is doing, and what is to be ex pected : “So we see tliut the army of the United States is expected not only ■to determine who shall be Governors and who arc entitled to seats as Leg islators, tint who shall be city and county officers. The President claims the rigid, to sent a sheriff. Napoleon marked the places of armies by stick ing pins in the map of Europe, but Gen. Grant pierces llie map of the peaceful South witli bayonets. 111 such acu*r as this his interference has no excuse, especially after his message to Congress, and it looks like a quiet defiance of the protest so emphnt ieally made by the people.” War in Europe is feared by the Lou don Times, which says, “The momen tary dn ams of peace have fled away.” Germany is armed, and the surround ing nations are forced to arm in their own dehyiee. Yet 4 few months ago the Emperor William announced that his policy was one of peace, but even then, as now, the pledge was under stood as n menace. “There is order in Warsaw” was once the boast, of those monarchs who partitioned Po land ; hut, as Thomas Meagher de fined it, it was the order of the char nel house and the grave. Germany, says the llrrald, seems disposed to en force peace by crushing her rivals and making resistance impossible, • ♦- • ■Hulls I Win rails You I.osi'. The statesmanship displayed in the following extracts from President Grant’s special message, disposing of the pertinent issue involved in the inquiry which elicited it, is akin to that of the thimble-rigger: NOW YOU SEE IT. It iuis been bitterly and persistent ly alleged that Kellogg was not elected. Whether he was or not is not altogether certain, nor is it any more eertnin that ids competitor, MeEnery, was chosen. The election was a gigantic fraud, and there are no reliable returns of its result. Kellogg nbtabwtl poxxrxxion of the office, and in my opinion, has more right to it than his competitor. now you don’t. I mn well tnvaro that any military interference by the officers or troops of the United States with the organi zation of a State Legislature or any of its proceedings, or witli any civil department, of the Govornmet, is re pugnant to our ideas of Government. I can conceive of 110 ease not involv ing rebellion or insurrection which such interference by authority of the general Government ought to be per mitted or can be justified.—Montgom ery Adrrrlixrr. - ♦ * Logan says that, “one man was made President for making New Oi lcans behave itself.” Logan is a historian a better one than all flu* rest of us together. Will lie, there fore, tell us who this mail was? Up to this time we have only heard of one President whose name'was asso ciated with New Orleans, mill that was Jackson, who was made President because he whipped the. British in that neighborhood.

JESS) nepotism. Cliui-kc ol Fraud Against Mate Libra rian, He. Ilrmihain, with tie. Niuitii as Accessory. We give in full the charges of Mr. Chesley B. Howard,well known here, against Dr. Branham and Governor Smith. The matter reaches ns in the form of u printed (similar, ad dressed “to the legislative branch of the General Assembly.” We produce it here, as such grave charges con cern the entire State. Wo refrain from comment, and will give tlie oth er side as full a hearing as wo have accorded their accuser. To thr Lcg'utlalicr lirunrh of thr Grn eral Anxeinbly: Gentlemen It Is witli grout reluc tance that I come before you again, to ask for the restitution of u right, of which the Librarian nnd tlie Gov ernor have combined to deprive me. After exhausting all other honorable means to have my rights accorded, I am driven to this course, more from a sense of duty to my own self-respect than for the small amount of money involved. To make it clear to the minds of all, I will merely state the facts as they transpired plain, unvarnished truths, and let you judge for your selves and draw your own conclu sions : Tlie law requires the Librarian, under and by direction of the Gover nor, to have the public laws distribu ted to the different Ordinaries in the .State, and in accordance with this law, in April of 1873, Dr. Joel it. Branham. State Librarian, called for sealed bids for said distribution. Dr. Branham then approached me, G. 11. Howard, anil asked me to join his clerk and son-in-law, Mr. Samuel Dunlap, and make a bid for the work; saying he had no doubt we could get the contract, and if wo could get it at SZ, 1881, that we could make sl,ism to SI,ZOO out of it ; and stated further, that Mr. Dunlap had taken the job once before and knew all about the profits of it. I declined; saying 1 had made other arrangements. He 1 sent me word the next, day, by a gen tleman whose veracity cannot be questioned, that I had lielter go in with his son-in-law (Dunlap) as lie (Branham, the Librarian.) “hwla watj of finding out all thr bid,*. Did anybody ever hear of siieh a proposition from tin' trusted officer of a State (outside of Radicalism) ? My bid was handed to the Governor j by one of his Secretaries, as I was j not willing to trust it in tho hands of the Librarian, after what I had heard. The Governor told me that, he would open the bids and award I the contract himself. But he put his | seal upon my bid, ns 1 learn from ! him, and sent, it up to the Librarian. ! Now, the day on which all the Gov ernors were expected here to the Ca nal Convention, Dr. Branham told the Governor that he had received dispatches from John VV. Burke, say ing—“the books were ready;” and he (Branham) thought the bills! should he opened. Governor Smith ordered him to j open them and award the contract to the lowest bidder with a good bond. The day after tlie bids were opened : Ia message from Mr. Dun lap that the bids had been opened j and the rontraet awarded ; but that hr trisitrtl tu see mr /virl'wid/irla. I went into the city ana received through the post-office an official notice of tlie bidding, from which it appeared that Daniel & Baird had bid $‘2,200, Dun lap &, Brown $2,00t1, C. B. Howard & Cos. $1,450, T. H. Cuyler $1,400- awarded. I approached Mr. Dunlap and ask ed what he wished to see me about. He replied Unitin' wished to bay mr out, and offered me a raUiablr oonskl erutian to witharaw my bill and retire. Upon demanding an explanation for so extraordinary a proposition, he explained that “if hr tvuhl induct• mr ti> withdraw, hr know hr runl/t manayr Cnijler (the successful bidder, mark you) aatl in tin r<’ him to witlnlraw, and thru his bid of $2,000 would be the lowest bid, and the contract would be awarded to Dunlap, the son-in-law of tlie Librarian, and Brown, the nephew of the Governor. I refused the proposition with scorn, and demanded to know what right they had to think they could get Cuvier to agree to such a trausae tion. He stated that Mr. Cuyler was a consumptive, and the work wns la borious, and he v/aojihyMt 'dty unable to attend to#. “Then,” shim I, *'(li>v. Smith will give me the contract as the next low est bidder. 1 am physically able to do it.” "But,” said he, "lie lias a partner.” “Then,” said I, “your ar gument, is not a gooii one, and you i can't manage him; and U-sides, ae-: eordllig tii liis official notice, lie lias I no partner.” He insisted that lie had 1 a partner, but when the truth comes ! to be known, Dunlap turns out to be the man. Being thoroughly convinc ed that a disgraceful fraud was at tempted upon the State, I approach ed tho Governor and charged malfea sance iu office upon tlie Librarian and his son-in-lnw (Dunlap); and 1 ! begged leave to contest the matter j before him and take his decision in j the case. The Governor agreed to it I readily, and appointed a day and hour for tho investigation of my i charge, and had Dr. Branham, his son-in-law (Dunlap), and Cuyler all j duly summoned to apix'ar and refute my'charges. One hour before the ! time for the hearing. Dr. Branham j gained admittance into the Gover ! nor’s private room anil was closeted i with him for nearly an hour. What , transpired in that conversation no ! one knows but themselves. When i they came out Gov. Smith announced to me that he had decided tho case, and that he had concluded to rub out and commence de noro. I was there with my proofs, at the time and place appointed by himself, where he pro mised me faithfully that he would give the ease a hearing, anil further promised that if I coiiia satisfy him of malfeasance on the part of l)r. Branham he would award me tlie contract and vindicate the integrity of the office, etc. Did ho keep his promise ? He decided the ease against me without hearing it. I protested against this outrage on my rights, and had my protest filled in the office. If Mr. Cuyler’s was an honest and fair bid. by wlmt authori ty did Governor (Smith or Dr. Bran ham withdraw it? If they had au thority from Cuyler, the bid was mine as I did not withdraw mine. If there wns a fraud In Cuyler's bid, the contract was mine. If there was no fraud, it was Cuyler's, and soin no event could they rubout. Is it probable tliut Mr. Cuyler would go to the trouble of bidding for the work, and then give up .the claim af ter winning the contract? I insist ! ed that the Governor was taking a j very great liberty with Mr. Cuyler’s ! name and character in withdrawing liis bid tif it was honest,) and that he would not submit to it. 111 the meantime, Cuyler’s bond was sent with the names of A. C. WyK'V and Judge Win. Ezzard, as security. I sought Judge Ezzard and asked him if lie was on Cuylr’s bond for the distribution of the laws, and he said "nohe did not know Cuy ler ; but that he had endorsed Dun lap’s bond before it was signed. (When it was signod, it was done by Cuyler.) Why this deception ? Why should lhmlup—■who is sup- j posed to. be a competitor- go to work to get up Cuyler’s bond? Would it not upimar nittier to Dunlap’s inter-j est for Cuyler to fall to get up his bond ? When the bond was made out, it did not promise to distribute but a portion of the books. I called the Librarian’s attention to the fact, and 1 he, the Librarian, whose duty it j was to require a good bond, —delib- erately interlined the bond after It was signed, thereby enlarging the obligations in the bond. Ignoring the forgery, and distinctly disclaim-1 ing any intention of charging felony. I contended that this act betrayed a private understanding between these parties, which forbade the possibility of an honest transaction. In this connection, I will mention that Dr. Branham’s son married Mr. Cuyler's sister, so the bidding was all in the family. Suffice it to say I was overruled in tlie interest of’ the parties to the fraud, and (lie advertisements were put in for the new bids, and while I j protested against the outrage upon I my rights, and (he villanies sought to be perpetrated against the State, X put in a bid at what was generally [ considered the actual cash outlay SBOO, at tlie same time claiming my first bid of $1,450. I do not know who bid this time, us Dr. Branham did not allow any one to see the names of the bidders as before, but it is a noticeable fact that neither Cuyler, Dunlap, Brown, or Branham bid this time,—they were glad to get out of it. and the ] contract was awarded to me at SBOO. 1 notified tlie Governor uml the Li- j brarian that I would appeal to the! Legislature for my rights, and at the same time expose their little irregu-j lurities, (I believe that is the fashion alile word.) Asa matterof course the Governor, with all liis influence and patronage ; the Librarian, with all his grey hairs and pathetic appeals to the sympathy j of members, combatted my claim,! (founded, as it was, entirely upon the j frauds attempted upon the State and : myself.) and every effort was made to prejudice the mind of the Legislature j against me. And it was even circu lated among the members —by a man ; high in authority—that the books : were scattered over the State, and were lying intiie railroad depots, and j had not been delivered. The receipts of the Ordinaries, filed in tlie Library, will answer for them selves for the truth and honesty of this malignant charge. My bonds men were Gen. John B. Gordon and James W. Warren. But let us admit that the books have not all been re ceived, does that prove their inno cence? I sent a memorial to the legislative , branch of the last General Assembly, stating the facts substantially ns j above. It was referred to the Finance 1 Committee. When I arrived, the lu.-t week in 1 he session, I apieared before the joint! Finance Committee and made my j statement. The statements of Bran-! ham and Cuyler had also been.sent to i the same committee. I learn that this joint committee, ; without hesitation, awarded me the ! whole amount of my claim, with only one dissenting voice. If I uni wrong in this I will thank any gentleman, who knows, to correct me. It was i then transmitted to the ,Senate and passed without a dissenting voice. j It was read in the House at 111 o’clock, at night, and lost. Andi light lie re by way of episode, I will state that it came very near being lost without being read. The next morning it was reconsidered and lost by a vote of 75 to 73. It then went back to the Senate being a Senate amendment and the Chairman of the Finance Committee arose and stated that they had examined the j merits of the claim thoroughly, nnd j it was a just one; that he Howard , had stood between the State and a gross fraud; that lie had been swin dled by whom he declined to say and that the Senate should insist "on their former decision. Tlie Senate insisted. A Committee of Conference was ap j pointed to settle the differences be tween the two bodies. The President of thi Senate appoint ed Senators Wofford, Brown and Jones. Speaker Bacon appointed Messrs. Peabody, McDaniel, Reese, of Mor gan, Turnbull and Hamilton, uncle of Cuyler. I appeared before them and begged that the accused be brought up, ami let them hear the charges and the proofs. And further stated that as Governor Smith was the best witness l had, I would like for him to be pres ent. (He had told me, however, that he would not testify before them.) One of the committee, Mr. Peabody, asked Dr. Branham why they wished to buy out Mr. Howard, and he said that if Howard and Cuyler’s bide were withdrawn the contract would be awarded to Dunlap and Brown. 1 think every gentleman on tlie com mittee will bear me out in this state ment. The committee having compromis ed some other differences between the two houses, set about to compromise this. Bnt as there was no such tiling as a half of a fraud, they gave me nearly half of my claim, and put it : upon the ground of extra compensa tion, a thing that 1 distinctly stated | I did not want, and by this so-called compromise they avoided placing j upon the record 11 judgment against the Libraian as principal, and tlie Governor as accessory, to a fraud upon the State and nn outrage on the rights of a citizen. Geobuia, 1 Fulton county, ) Came before me. Mr. ('. It. Howard, who being duly sworn, deposetli, and tsaith that the facts contained in the foregoing statement are true. C. B. Howard. j Sworn to and subscribed before me this Istli day of January, 1875. William Ezzard, rr-ttdirio Juxtirr of thr Truer. I A few weeks ago I addressed a note i to Gov. Smith, and expressed my re pugnance to going before tlie legis lature again With this matter, and | proposed to leave the matter to three j gentlemen, and if a majority of them decided that my claim was not a just one. I agreed to refund wlmt I had received, and make him as humble an apology as any one gentleman could make to another. Or again, if the hitter feelings en gendered by the controversy, last winter, should have so far given way to kindlier ones, that he could accord , me my rights in the matter, I pledged ! ray word to drop the subject forever, j The “omnipotence of honesty” pre vailed, and he could not allow any : private consideration even the repa ration of liis own wrong to influence liis official conduct. So lam forced to the unpleasant necessity of un earthing nnd exposing little pecula tions that will put to shame the re ports of any of the Bullock investi gation. And while I am not the curator for the State of Georgia, or the guardian of her treasury, or honor further than one citizen of n million. 1 will not al low the State to be swindled over my shoulders, nor will I allow myself swindled with impunity. “Xemo me impnnr leraxsut. ” C.
